The Au Pair Program

Matching Process

Once your application has been accepted by CHI Au Pair USA, it will be uploaded to our secure database. CHI Au Pair USA's approved host families will then begin reviewing your application, photos and video.

If a family is interested in learning more about you, they will e-mail or call you to get to know more about you, your childcare experience and your interests. During these interviews, you will also have the chance to learn more about each host family, their expectations and their needs.

Some au pairs find the right match in their first interview, others may take a number of interviews with a family, and still others may talk to several different families to find the right match. There is no time limit to this process. The most important thing is to be compatible and truly feel comfortable.

Please note that families are looking for experienced, loving and energetic applicants to care for their children. Au pairs who can demonstrate these qualities in their applications and interviews will attract the most interest from host families. Take the time to make sure that your application highlights how special and qualified you are!

Once a family and an au pair have agreed to match, CHI Au Pair USA will begin processing the paperwork needed for you to schedule your visa interview.
